Arrietty.
Arrietty is the main character from the book The Borrowers by Mary Norton. This book has been around since I was a kid, but a few years ago the movie The Secret World of Arrietty came out and that is what really sparked Anna's fascination. The Borrowers are little people (just a couple inches tall) who "borrow" from humans the things they need to live. They only take what they need and they only take what a human wouldn't miss. So... if you're missing a straight pin or can't find a match box, the borrowers may have taken them :-)

When Anna originally asked to be this, I couldn't imagine how I would create a costume. BUT THANKS to the internet, I stumbled across another mother's posting about how she created an Arrietty costume. Whew...
I give you Arrietty.
I will try to get some pics of Abe up this weekend.

Okay, I had to watch the clip first, but looks like you knocked this out of the park. Well done!
Super cute! I was not familiar with Arrietty, but now I kind of want to watch that movie!! The storyline kind of reminds me of that other old series of books - The Littles. I loved those as a kid!!
She looked great! I want to see the movie. I have heard that Ponyo is really good, too.
